ABS and Traction Control Lights Turning On Randomly
So, after a LONG time without my car driving around, I finally got it all good to go.
The only issue now, is that the ABS and Traction Control lights will turn on randomly while driving. My guess is since it has been sitting for so long, that one of the calipers must be sticking?
Everything I have searched on here led people to say it has to do with LED lights, which I don't know why that would be (and I have had LED lights for my rear lights forever).
I might have to check the calipers to make sure the breaks are working, but could this lead to the lights tripping on?
Also, I haven't checked my fuses, but I don't think that would be the case since the car typically turns on without any lights.

Also, I had to sadly take my car into the Mazda dealership, and this is when these U codes and the lights started popping up. I am willing to bet they did something but no way was I going to pay for them to replace those expensive parts.

Manual like how they should be!
In regards to the codes, I can grab them tomorrow. I know the dealership mentioned there was two U codes (which is funny, because I never got any fault codes on my own OBDII readings and this wasn't an issue before I brought it into the dealership.
It could be a wheel speed sensor. Since this car was sitting in storage for a while, the tire pressure was down to like ~25!!! Filled it up to 46 (52 max on my Z2). I figured that was the fix, but I still saw it pop up on occasion randomly during the drive.
I then figured it might have to do with the breaks being stuck? There was a small pull to the right side while driving now too?
